Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, F
Mutual help groups are associations that are voluntarily formed and operate through face-to-face supportive interaction focusing on a mutual goal. They are usually organized by recovering substance abusers or those recovering from compulsive behavior patterns. The first mutual help group was Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The early AA members developed 12 steps to guide the recovery process. Basic tenets of 12-step programs include an inventory of past shortcomings and strengths, willingness to change, and making amends. Daily attendance, open recognition of weaknesses and request for help from others, and a public explanation of sins and future plans for resisting temptation are not part of 12-step programs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E, F
The guidelines from the National Association of School Nurses indicate that medications should be in containers that are properly labeled with all appropriate student and medication information, accompanied by a written request from the health care provider and parent or guardian, and administered without violating standing orders or nursing protocols. The nurse would not typically find an approval from the student's teacher for the student to see the nurse each day for a medication or a student's assent for the medication to be administered. The parents and health care provider are responsible for the written request for the medication to be administered.
